Each year, Black History Month highlights the contributions of African Americans to United States history. Created in 1926 by historian and scholar Carter G. Woodson, it continues to serve as a month-long moment of reflection on the impact African Americans have had on academia, entertainment, sports, science, politics, and art. The National Civil War Naval Museum in Columbus, Georgia is proud to take part in this celebration. Although the museum, highlights these important contributions daily, they will commemorate Black History Month with a special guided tour and program, "Lift Every Voice: African Americans in Civil War Navies”.

This rollicking Pops concert searches film scores and television sound tracks to present music that pits the most virtuous super heroes against the most vile, evil super villains. Superman, Batman, Spiderman, and all the rest will do battle with their arch
nemeses. At the end, only one will remain standing (and it probably won’t be conductor Del Gobbo).

The time is 1905, the place New York City, where Esther, a black seamstress, lives in a boarding house for women and sews intimate apparel for clients who range from wealthy white patrons to prostitutes.
